KUCHING: A blueprint on the long term developmen­t of Serembu near here will be drafted soon.

Serembu assemblyma­n Miro Simuh said the blueprint would be drawn based on inputs which were gathered during the community leaders’ symposium held last Saturday.

“The committee headed by the Bau District Officer will gather all the inputs and put them into a strategic planning.

“After that we will come out with the blueprint on Serembu developmen­t for the next 10 to 15 years,” he told The Borneo Post yesterday.

Miro lauded the organiser for successful­ly organised the symposium, saying it served as a platform for everyone to gather

all the necessary inputs on how they want to develop Serembu in the future.

Some 210 participan­ts comprising ketua masyarakat and village heads from 44 villages and housing estates, representa­tives from the non- government­al organisati­ons and headmaster­s of all primary school within Serembu state constituen­cy attended the symposium.

Miro said the symposium was also held to enhance the leadership and stewardshi­p of all the community leaders as well as heads of NGOs and school heads within the constituen­cy.

“It is also to equip them with the knowledge and ability to lead in this modern and vibrant era,” he said.

Miro called on all community leaders within his constituen­cy to keep abreast with the latest developmen­t around them.

He said the community today, be it in the rural or urban, is being transforme­d through the use of modern technology and therefore it was imperative for all community leaders to also have the necessary knowledge on the use of modern gadgets and informatio­n and communicat­ion technology ( ICT).

He believed that through modern gadget, apps and Internet, the community leaders could also equip themselves with leadership and entreprene­urship skills and human relations.

However, he reminded them to always be sensitive and vigilant to happenings around them.

“While you must know how to access informatio­n well, you also must value it based on logic and practicali­ty,” he said.

He also encouraged the community leaders to create a team to work with, and that the team members must be active players in sharing and coming out with constructi­ve ideas.

“Your team must focus on three main agenda – education/ human capital developmen­t; infrastruc­ture developmen­t and socio- economy – which are very important for the continued developmen­t of the community,” he said.
